What is your charity shop bargain of the week?

Uneven_income

Delighted this week to get two pairs of full length, lined curtains for £6! Going to brighten up our living/dining room no end

Oooh, it's either feast or famine in my local hospice chazza shop! Today was a mini feast. :j

Cream M & S jacket, BNWT, £5

Peach cotton sweater by CottonTraders, BNWT, £1.50 (think it's a mans but will be great with skinny jeans)

White M & S T shirt with a teeny bit of 'bling' on the front, 50p

Also went back to another chazza shop where I had seen a great big stainless steel cooking pot with a steamer insert and glass lid for £2. It looked quite new and great quality but had burnt on grease around the base. I was quite looking forward to attacking it with wire wool and then using it for jam making among other things. Yep, you guessed it....it had been sold!!!!! :mad:

Lovely Fat Face skirt and a pretty Next dress for me today, grand total of £9 for both. Very happy with that.

I personally think the Heart Foundation Furniture shops are good value for money. You seem to save quite a bit by buying from them rather than elsewhere.

My rule of thumb is if I'm unsure of buying an item, would I be annoyed if I went away, came back and it was gone? I've been burned so many times doing this in charity shops. I once saw a mulberry mini leather backpack for £9, went away, came back and it was gone. I googled it when I got home as my smartphone battery had died - They sell on ebay for around £250!!! :mad: :eek: Gutted but, also, lesson learned lol! (Buy when you see it and charge your phone lol)

My last charity shop bargain was a TopShop navy and white striped long-sleeve tshirt with a thin grosgrain pink ribbon sewn across the neck to look like a bow - £3

My local CS is open on a Sunday so popped in when I went for my Sunday paper. 3 lovely large wine glasses with thick heavy stems for £2.50 - just right for the caravan! Also saw a beautiful fuchsia pink peach skin trench mac by Wardrobe for £7.95 !!!! - size 22 - pooh! Why is it that the people with the same style taste as me are either 4 sizes to big or 2 sizes too small

Another good day today.....

In the hospice shop I found a blue, heavy cotton skirt with fancy stitching for £1.50

And in the community shop I got a BNWT, Private Collection by M & S, pair of trousers in camel for £1

Now having a wardrobe crisis...can't fit everything in! Must have a sort out and take some stuff in to them!

I've had a good couple of days. Yesterday a pair of white Per Una Roma cropped jeans for £4.50 and a Dorothy Perkins cardigan for £3.79. They were found in Westbourne. Today in Age UK Parkstone I got a lovely Laura Ashley dress for £4.95. :)

Again, someone the same size height and with the same 'style' as me has had a clear out! I do love it when that happens.
Pair of Laura Ashley wide legged trousers, new with a £60 price tag on, £3.99 and a light cotton Monsoon top £2.99, both from a local autism support project charity shop. Not been in there before but will certainly call again.

I got a modern canvas style print of a london bus and street. for £2, for my Daughter, she loves it, also a pair of denim shorts for myself, for 50p, from my favourite Sally army shop.
